NEW DELHI: Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal on Monday presented a 'beneficiary' who claimed he had not received any help from the Zakir Hussain Trust run by law minister Salman Khurshid's wife.

Kejriwal called off his Delhi stir and announced a fresh campaign against Khurshid in his UP constituency, Farrukhabad, from November 1, but queering the pitch for Khurshid, the handicapped welfare officer of Bulandshahr said his predecessor never signed on the documents of beneficiaries shown by the trust.

The officer, Sushil Kumar Gautam, told a news channel that his predecessor, Ms Rashmi, had alleged to the state government that her signature on a report on equipment distributed to 42 disabled people was forged. He said a physical check of the list of beneficiaries was underway.

In Delhi, Kejriwal doubted the impartiality of the probe carried out by the UPA government and alleged a 'quid pro quo' between Congress and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav. He said he did not expect anything from Uttar Pradesh government's probe into the alleged irregularities of Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust run by Khurshid and his wife Louise.

Kejriwal alleged that the minister and the father-son duo of Yadav and Akhilesh will bail out each other. "There is enough evidence building up, but the question is who will conduct an investigation. Akhilesh Yadav? A case of disproportionate assets is pending against his father Mulayam Singh in the Supreme Court. Who will appoint the government lawyer against Mulayam? The law minister will do. Now, Khurshid will save Mulayam Singh and Mulayam's son will save Khurshid," he alleged.

He claimed that he had spoken to one of the officers whose signature was allegedly forged by the NGO and asked him to join his group. "The officer now says he does not remember what exactly happened. This is UP politics. One by one, all evidences are being erased. Give 10 more days and there will be no proof. The inquiry has already been done. Why do we need one more inquiry," Kejriwal asked. He presented a differently-abled person, Pankaj Kumar from Mainpuri, who alleged that he was not provided any help as claimed by the NGO.

"The document given to government says he has been provided with a hearing aid. But he has problems in his legs. He was not given any hearing aid," Kejriwal claimed in the presence of Kumar. Kumar also said he had not received any hearing aid though he did not need it . Kejriwal's colleague, Vivek Yadav, an activist from Mainpuri, claimed that they searched for beneficiaries in Dewar block, but could not locate Santosh Kumari and Sasi Mohan, who were provided with wheel-chairs.

The name of another beneficiary, Dayaram, who had an eye surgery and is not a handicapped, also figures in the list, he alleged. Lashing out at Congress, he asked, "why is Congress defending Khurshid's NGO? What is the relationship? Is it Khurshid's NGO or is it Congress party's NGO? The party is definitely involved somewhere," he alleged.

Congress and the government were unambiguous in their support to Khurshid. Congress spokesperson Sandeep Dikshit ruled out Khurshid's resignation at the official press briefing of the party. "Mr Khurshid has very effectively countered the questions being raised against him and the trust. He has done so with a lot of data. He has proved that much of what was being said is perhaps not true. Uttar Pradesh government has said that it has instituted an inquiry. Mr Khurshid and his wife have decided to go to court and file a defamation suit. Both avenues have opened and we should leave it at that now," Dikshit said.

When asked about Kejriwal producing a 'beneficiary,' Dikshit said, "I was told that the matter pertains to 2006-07. Inquiry committee would be there and these should be presented to them." Congress rejected Kejriwal's accusations on the inquiry. "Inquiry will be under the present rules and systems prescribed. If they do not accept it, they are welcome to win elections and then change the system. But as of now, the present system would be followed," Dikshit said. Even the government threw its weight behind Khurshid.

"There is no question of isolation or not backing (Khurshid)," information and broadcasting minister Ambika Soni told reporters here after a meeting of the group of ministers on media. Khurshid, who also attended the meeting, refused to answer any questions and left, with a thumbs up sign. "There is no question of distancing. He has made it clear that there is nothing wrong. There is no question of distancing (from him)," health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said.
